Your Back Office Shouldn't Be a Bottleneck

When your accounting function can't keep up with your business, everything slows down — decisions, growth, and your peace of mind. Starkmont Financial's insourced accounting team becomes part of your business, not just a vendor on the outside.

We Said "Insourced" on Purpose

Most accounting firms are outsourced: you hand off work to people who don't know your business. Starkmont Financial is different. Our accountants are dedicated to your operations, embedded in your processes, and accountable to your goals — the same way an in-house hire would be, without the overhead.

And unlike many providers, all of our work is done in the United States. None of your financial data is shipped offshore. We're also SOC 2 Type 2 certified, meaning our data security practices have been independently audited and verified — so your most sensitive financial information stays protected.

Sound Familiar?

• Your team just lost key accounting hie and he books can't wait for a replacement
• You've expanded into a new market, taken on new funding, or added subsidiaries - and the accounting complexity jumped overnight
• Month-end close keeps slipping, and nobody's sure who owns what
• Your financial reports are late, inconsistent, or not telling you what you actually need to know
• You're growing fast but don't have the volume to justify a full-time Controller or CFO

We Don't Just Do the Numbers

Beyond keeping your books clean and closes on time, Starkmont acts as a strategic partner. We help you design KPIs that actually reflect your business health, identify cost savings hiding in your expense structure, and flag revenue opportunities you might be missing. Think of us as the financial co-pilot you never had bandwidth to hire.

Our Insourced Accounting Services

Revenue & Expense Management

When you need this: If your AR is aging, your vendor relationships are strained by slow payments, or your team is spending hours on manual billing and collections — this is where we come in. We handle the full procure-to-pay and order-to-cash cycle so cash flow stays predictable and your team stays focused.

• Invoice creation and billing
• Collections support
• AR aging reports
• Procure-to-Pay (receive invoice, hold invoice for pay terms, weekly expense reports, disbursement authorizations)
• Vendor verification and onboarding
• AP/AR aging reports
• Vendor and expense accrual support

Accounting Close Management

When you need this: A messy close is one of the most common signs that an accounting function is under strain. Team turnover, new GL complexity, audit prep, or simply too much on the plate — any of these can make month-end feel like a crisis. We can manage the entire close process, own the complex reconciliations, or step in to cover gaps left by a recent departure.

• Open and close accounting periods
• Bank reconciliations
• Trust and IOLTA 3-way reconciliations
• Intercompany reconciliations
• Credit card reconciliations
• Financial statement generation

Financial Reporting & Accounting Leadership

When you need this: Recording transactions is one thing — producing financials that hold up to scrutiny is another. Whether you need clean monthly management reports, a full US GAAP financial statement package for an audit or review, or senior accounting leadership your growing company can't yet justify hiring full-time, this is where Starkmont goes beyond bookkeeping.

Many businesses hit an inflection point: the accounting complexity has outgrown the team, but headcount isn't the right answer. That's exactly where our fractional Controller and CFO services come in — bringing C-suite financial leadership to your business on a flexible basis, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.

Financial Statement Preparation

• Monthly internal management reporting
• Financial Statement Packages (US GAAP, Accrual)
• Audit and review support — we work directly with your auditors to ensure a smooth, efficient process
• Trial balance to full financials — give us your reports from your accounting system and we'll build the rest

Transaction Services & Quality of Earnings (QoE) Preparation

A significant part of our work is helping business owners prepare for a sale. If you're heading toward an M&A transaction but your books weren't built with a buyer in mind, that's where deals slow down — or fall apart entirely.

We specialize in working with companies whose financials are functional but not transaction-ready: cleaning up the books, normalizing earnings, and building the financial narrative that a QoE process will scrutinize. Getting ahead of this before a buyer's advisor does it for you is one of the highest-leverage things a seller can do.

• Financial statement cleanup and normalization
• EBITDA add-back identification and documentation
• Revenue and expense reclassification
• Historical period restatement and reconciliation
• Preparation of schedules and support packages for QoE providers
• Monthly internal management reporting
• Working alongside your M&A advisor or investment banker

Fractional Controller Services

• Accounting period management and close oversight
• GL account reconciliation and support
• Supplementing existing Controllers to give them capacity for higher-value work
• Interim coverage during Controller transitions or searches
